Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups starchy potatoes (e.g., Russets), peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with grease or parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the softened butter until crumbly.
  4. Gradually add milk to form a soft dough; adjust with more flour if sticky.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead gently for about one minute, and shape into a round loaf.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
